What can I say about Fluid jiujitsu… as a former student I can say that Professor Benton and the staff over at Fluid have been nothing but awesome towards me . Class structure is solid and the jiujitsu is dope . I highly recommend going here for your jiujitsu education and experience. I still have nightmares of Coach Nick and him catching me in his spider guard lol ?? . A 414 Legit salute ??to the folks over at Fluid Bjj . I wish all of you nothing but success in your martial arts journeys

We joined Fluid Jiu Jitsu to help our 6 year old focus and with understanding his surroundings better. Since joining the notes from his teacher have been verry positive about his new found attention to his surroundings and paying attention in class.Myself and our 9 year old joined at the same time as well. Our 9 year old has always been a bit on the quite side and more reserved, since joining she seems to have gained a self confidence we did not know she had. She has even told her coach that she wants to compete in tournaments.My main goal in joining was to help get in shape. I can already feel a difference in my overall movement. The class and instructors have been extremely welcoming and helpful in my instruction.I highly recommend to anybody looking!!!

The family atmosphere you get when stepping in is unmatched, starting at the top from Prof. Fitzgerald, every single person shows great interest in helping you grow, not only in BJJ but I life, the support is real! Couldn't recommend it enough!

Can't say enough good about this place. I've only been coming for 4-5 months at this point, but I've felt like I've belonged since day one. Everyone is super welcoming and willing to teach. You can really tell Brent and the rest of the instructors truly care about what they're teaching and take the time to do it safely. The kids class is also phenomenal for a wild 5 year old! You guys rock, and I look forward to many more years of training here :)

I’ve been to several gyms all over the Midwest and this one is definitely one of the friendliest gyms I’ve been to. Very clean facility and excellent people. Thank you!

I had the opportunity and great pleasure to attend a Pedro Sauer seminar here recently. While it is a little far away from me, if I lived closer I would not hesitate to both attend and join up!Brenton is a great owner and instructor with amazing technique and skills. Overall just an awesome gym. There are really good people there and the training atmosphere is second-to-none.Definitely check it out - *especially* if you are from the area. You WILL improve your jiu-jitsu immensely!

As I am coming up on a year attending classes and functions at Fluid Jiu-Jitsu, I just wanted to write a quick review of this gym/dojo/family meeting place. Not sure what to call it as it fits many names. I first have found everyone to be very accepting and encouraging no matter where you are on your fitness journey. Whether you are 70 or 5 I have found everyone to be very helpful and willing to instruct and share their knowledge. Our fearless leader Professor Brenton Fitzgerald has ensured that everyone is in an environment where they can ask for help and receive it. Whether you are looking for inclusion in an activity, a good work out, advancing your skills, promotion/advancement in belts, and up to competing on a more serious level. There is a great variety of classes from beginner, intermediate, advanced, flow rolling, Gracie self-defense curriculum, competition drilling and women’s only classes. It truly is a great place that I enjoy and wish I could be at more often than I am. I try to attend 6 a.m. classes as much as I can but there’s a great variety of classes and times that can really fit any schedule.

This is the second bjj school I have trained at, and my absolute favorite. The people are welcoming, there are multiple classes to choose from for your schedule, a variety of qualified instructors willing to help, and a level of professionalism without the "corporate" feel. I think beginners, advanced students, and in-between can all gain a positive experience from training at Fluid!

This place is no doubt the best place where I have trained. I have visited nationwide close to 20 jiujitsu schools including the big names in NYC and California and Fluid is right there on the top. Being a small school in a small city I was not sure about visiting but their social media tone encouraged me to visit. From the beginning professor Brent was very friendly and open, he talked about the school, the rolls, their approach, and most importantly (and their secret sauce) the people. It is the friendliest, more casual, supporting environment I have experienced. My jiujitsu grew exponentially and very fast I saw myself immersed in the same supporting culture, learning and sharing. Fluid has something for everyone, from beginners with zero experience to fearless avid competitors, if there is something you don't find here I am pretty sure professor would do whatever is in his power to help you and see you improve. If you are looking for a place that is also a community, fun and challenging this is it. You will not leave the same you came in.

Awesome gym. My son, my wife, and I all train Jiu Jitsu under Professor Brenton and we love being here. The instructors are great, higher rank students are willing to help out. If you’re looking to train this is the place for you and your family.

From the moment I first contacted Fluid Jiu Jitsu inquiring about classes for my children until now 8 months later my experience has been nothing but top notch!Brenton was very responsive to all of our questions and when we arrived at Fluid the team greeted us like we had always been there! We came for the self defense but have recieved so much more.The skills we gain go beyond physical and verbal self defense. Aside from technical knowledge and skills since starting jiu jitsu my kiddos both:-Show more respect for authority and have better listening skills.-Are more self-responsible and self-reliant.-Have gained confidence, stress relief and other mental health benefits.-Have gained friends in a really great supportive group of people.-Get regular exercise and the benefits that come with that.-Have a blast with all the Fluid shenanigans and events. (Pot lucks, nerf wars, costume parties, team outtings)I just think its a great place with great people. Very happy my kiddos and I found them!
